CrawfordJournal Article20191222Harlequin ichthyosis is a rare and exceedingly severe form of congenital ichthyosis with an incidence of approximately 1 in 300,000 births. These patients are at a high risk for neonatal<br />infection and septicemia. Most affected infants die within the first days or weeks of life.<br />We report a male baby born with harlequin ichthyosis. There is limited information regarding the course and prognosis of neonates affected with harlequin ichthyosis.
